Help with wood ID

[Brian P.]

Any guesses what the woods are in this RER I just picked up in a trade? Pretty, whatever it is.

Looks like Walnut and Osage on the riser. Not sure on the limbs. Could be walnut burl or a foreign variety of walnut?

[Wagstaff]

I'm Guessing..

Riser: Bolivian Rosewood, with an Osage Flare
Limbs: Figured Myrtle Burl

Walnut Osage riser

Walnut Burl veneers.

[Longtoke]

I was going to guess walnut too,  my other guess for the limbs is maybe mango... just a guess  


nice looking bow! congrats!

Shedua and Osage riser, myrte veneers.  The shedua could be Bolivian Rosewood though.

Riser could be Bolivian Rosewood as Wagstaff suggests.  Could also be macassar ebony.  Agree that the flair is osage.  Also agree that the limb veneers could be myrtle, but that's more character than myrtle usually has.

Why not give the folks at RER a call or email.  Even though they're relatively new owners, they probably have the build records and can tell you what the woods are. Mighty fine looking bow, regardless.

My guess on the limbs is Oak Burl.

I have an email in to RER, but haven't heard back yet. Just thought I would present it for opinion sake.
